Photo: Philliedelphia/Kevin Durso Great news from Philadelphia! According to MLB's Todd Zolecki, Phillies ace Roy Halladay will begin a rehab assignment on Thursday, July 12. The Phillies' righthander will start for single-A Clearwater Threshers and if all goes well, he could be back in a Phils' uniform by Tuesday when the Phillies are in Los […]
Photo: Philliedelphia/Steve Trapani Shane Victorino was scratched from the Phillies lineup today and first launched speculation that Victorino had been traded. Then, the word was that Victorino's absence from the Phillies lineup was not due to a trade and not due to an injury, but simply the "manager's decision," reported Todd Zolecki. Here's the […]
(Photo: Philliedelphia/Kevin Durso) Yesterday was just pathetic. Seriously, you have to give an effort to lose like that. The Phils had the series in the bag until the 9th inning of yesterday's game that ended with a Mets walk-off win. The Phillies are looking to turn a new direction this weekend as they head into the […]
When the Phillies opted to go with a "bullpen game" in last night's contest against the Pirates, it meant that today's starter had to at least keep the game close heading into the 7th inning for the team or the bullpen to have a chance to win. It didn't look like that was going to […]
It seems as if millions of prayers have been answered. Chad Qualls has been designated for assignment. In a corresponding move, Jeremy Horst has been called up. The Phillies signed Qualls to a one-year $1.15 MM contract in the offseason with hopes that he could continue his success as a relief pitcher as he did last […]
The Phillies were unable to win this series last night as they fell to the Pirates, 11-7. Although they won the first two games of the series, they are still looking for a series win. In this afternoon's matinée, Kyle Kendrick (2-7, 5.24 ERA) and A.J. Burnett (8-2, 3.24 ERA) will go head to head. […]
(Photo: Philliedelphia/Lindsey Crew) The Phillies have already won this series after taking the first two games against the Rockies. Tonight they'll aim for the sweep of the Rockies. If they do so, it will be their first sweep of a three-game series this season. Last night, Placido Polanco ended the game in dramatic and unusual fashion. […]
This series between the Phillies and Rockies is going to show us either of these things: 1. The Phillies are going to be able to beat the Rockies two games to one or even better. 2. The Phillies will lose to the Rockies two games to one or even worse. 3. The Phillies and Rockies […]
Ah, the Great White North. Free health care, funny accents, polar bears and maple syrup. The Phillies went through customs last night and tonight they will open up a three-game set with the Toronto Blue Jays. After winning the three-game series with the Twins, the Phillies are 31-34 and sit 9 games behind the Nationals […]
